    Trees have absolutely no respect for people's property, so they grow any which way they want. Just yesterday a big limb from my neighbor's oak fell on my prized blueberry bush. I was so intent on getting it off that I didn't think to get the camera. With some planning and careful use of the...

    I haven't seen a tick since I left South Carolina in 2004. I'm sure they're here and I spend lots of time in their territory, but they've never bothered me.

    Some sort of cherry with a bunch of dead limbs.

    I used a line in this big pine to remove some dead limbs and suckers from the small oak nearby. I couldn't let that high TIP go to waste, so up I went.

    Blue 32!

    I missed that when getting started so I recently bought some Sterling WorkPro 12.5mm which meets the spec. Compared to the Samson Voyager and Vortex I've been using it's not nearly as supple and easy to knot. The WorkPro is VERY resistant to twisting, and you'll end up spinning as you climb if...

    I've been climbing several times a week to keep in shape, but I was able to remove a few dead limbs on some of them.

    Throw bag hitting shingle roof...How bad?

    Don't have to worry about this one anymore. The HO discovered it had a big root going under the corner of the house, and several days later a tree company with a big Terex took it down and ground out the stump and root.

    Well, they finally took care of it by cutting down all the trees between the road and the power lines. They left the stumps.

    Wow, it looks like you're really 'into' it. What's the gold and black item you're using here? It looks very sturdy and versatile.

    do something about this other than report it to the city electrical department. High voltage lines up high with communication lines below alongside major highway. Large broken limb (probably 5" at break) with branch resting on the comm lines. It's been like this for several months, and...

    One of my favorite trees in the neighborhood...

    Closeups show lots of wound wood that appears to be holding the adjacent bark firmly in place. It's probably a race between the exposed wood rotting and/or getting attacked by insects and the wound wood closing over the damaged area.

    An add-on to the previous job is removing suckers and dead limbs from two more oaks... and adding them to the pile.

    Looks like it's going to be OK for another year. But it's missing much more bark.

    I went over on Sunday evening to get a line in this oak for an early Monday climb. My first shot gave me a nice high TIP, so I decided to stay and get the job done. The tree had every possible combination of dead, live, broken, loose, and hanging with a bunch of pesky suckers thrown in...

    big shot trigger

    I'm surprised you're willing to give up so much length for tension adjustment by using the original loop on the basket. I got rid of it when I switched to the snap release... and shortened the assembly a little more when I switched to the archery release. Using two hitches on the rope uses...

    Two hanging dead limbs and six limbs in various stages of decomposition gave me and the little Kobalt saw quite a workout this morning.

    A nice evening climb to remove a hanging broken limbs and a pair of dead limbs. Back in the same yard the following morning to remove several dead limbs over the play area. Two were already in the HO's cart when I remembered to take the pic. This long one was over the swing set.
